Cacao Beauté has earned the Gold Tablet, the highest honor awarded by the CCC at Salon du Chocolat Paris 2024 and 2025, one of the world’s largest chocolate festivals.
The judges praised it highly, saying:
“Cacao Beauté is an innovative chocolate that incorporates beauty-supporting cacao ceramide while still offering the pure enjoyment of a confectionery.
Its smooth texture creates a sense of delight the moment it melts, with layers of cacao richness, citrus acidity, caramelized hazelnut aroma, mellow milkiness, and gentle bitterness.
The finish is delicate and beautifully balanced, with a refreshing, understated sweetness.”
